9 Best American Restaurants near Benld

“Jo Danni's, "Amore" is a great little upscale dining gem in the heart of a cornfield. The food is always good, the servers always professional, the customers are low key and the atmosphere romantic. This is our go to place when we want a quiet romantic evening. Jo Danni's touts itself as an Italian restaurant. However, my favorite thing on the menu is the steak! Always perfectly cooked medium rare (right overtime), with a baked potato and house salad. If you are appetizer people, the risotto balls are a must order. My husband always gets the same thing, lobster ravioli. He always looks at the menu says he is going to try something different, then orders the ravioli. He says, "It is that good".“

“Food was great. The french toast made me feel heavenly. Our server, Heaven, was fantastic. She made sure our cups were full and was very energetic. Overall my experience with this location was phenomenal and I will be traveling here again. Thanks again !“

“Very cool and historic place to eat. Our server Ariel was very nice and service was fantastic. Had the hamburger horseshoe and my mom had the prime rib. They have the best salad bar out there which is like a meal itself. You also get free dessert with your meal. If you are ever in the area you must stop “

“We didn’t stay here but stopped along the way for lunch after seeing 4.5 on Yelp. Just a small little diner attached to a clean, simple looking motel. We had the open faced roast beef and a grilled chicken sandwich. The food was amazing. The roast beef was perfect, gravy and potatoes just plain delicious like mom’s. The chicken sandwich was very good too. And the pies.. omg you have to have a piece of pie. Or the gigantic cinnamon roll heated up and lathered with butter… oh my. Staff were friendly and nice and attentive. Stop here for a meal, you won’t regret it.“

“Great place to eat after shopping.It has all the trappings of a 1950s diner, with additional decoration for immersion. Its swirling ice cream cone storefront catches the eye.The food is very reasonably priced, and was much better than I was expecting. Many of these throwback diners have average or terrible food, but this one was a surprise.“

“Nice downtown Staunton pub. My friend and I had burgers. I tried the chips which I really liked and she has the fries which made her happy. Nice fresh lettuce, onions, tomatoes and pickles for the burgers. Yummy - would definitely go again. We were there after 1PM and several other tables full arrived while we ate. The diners were young kids through older adults. Everyone is welcome.“

“We pulled in after a long day an hour before close and were a little concerned to be coming in later for dinner, but we needn't have worried, we got excellent service, great food, and a wonderful stop along our travels of the day (which ran another 5 hours after of driving). I had a burger, and while good, if I make it by again, I'll be doing breakfast (which most of our group was smart enough to order)“

“Excellent customer service! The bartender was friendly, courteous & kind. The owners were there & actively involved in this facility. They have been open now 1 yr. The prices were moderately priced w/ a large variety of beers & wines. Last night they had a live group & free food for their 1 yr. anniversary.There was plenty of parking & it was easy to acess their facility as it's right off I 55 in Livingston, IL on Livingston Ave Give this place a try, you won't regret it.“
